Berenice Abbott Quotes

» Photography can never grow up if it imitates some other medium. It has to walk alone; it has to be itself.

» Photography can only represent the present. Once photographed, the subject becomes part of the past.

» Does not the very word 'creative' mean to build, to initiate, to give out, to act - rather than to be acted upon, to be subjective? Living photography is positive in its approach, it sings a song of life - not death.

» Photography helps people to see.

» There are many teachers who could ruin you. Before you know it you could be a pale copy of this teacher or that teacher. You have to evolve on your own.

» The camera is no more an instrument of preservation, the image is.

» The challenge for me has first been to see things as they are, whether a portrait, a city street, or a bouncing ball. In a word, I have tried to be objective.

» I didn't decide to be a photographer; I just happened to fall into it.
